Food Served on a Banana Leaf!

One day a few months ago I paid a visit to one of our city's International Supermarkets.  I saw quite a few people buying large banana leaves.  I asked one of the ladies if the leaf was edible and she said it was actually used to serve the food, like a plate.  Upon doing some further research I learned that when hot food is put on the leaf, the food absorbs vital nutrients from it.  Interesting, yes?  Watch this video to learn more!
